Confusion to love everybody sincerely to act in everything with the highest Mota to trust God unhesitatingly Helen Keller. Helen Keller live from 1818 to 1968 she was a famous American author and lecturer who overcame a tremendous obstacles of being both blind. Quotes from history. Your Crawford Broadcasting Company God and the country station. You're tuned to am 67 calle t.-t. T.-t. H.d. Com or city Denver. At 95 point one and streaming world one and 670 calle t t v dot com. Dr Ralph Arnold the host the Bible I believe strongly in our nation under God that we must recognize the biblical precepts that our nation was built upon now our nation's anthem honoring America here is the United States Navy Sea chanters chorus performing our national anthem. Serving God and country this is the Crawford Broadcasting Company. This is Washington. Tony Perkins Daily Voice in Washington d.c. On the issues the faith family and freedom and now you should host a Research Council President Tony Perkins. Is that green story and I'm craving Krispy Kreme donuts Well that'll have to wait for an hour I've got a couple questions for you 1st is Trump's Evan Jellicoe support slipping major writer says that's happening we'll talk about it later in the program and related are some American Catholics building an alliance of hate with Trump. A Vatican vetted Journal says. This is Jerry Johnson not Tony Perkins I'm sitting in for Tony Perkins you are listening to Washington Watch Welcome to the program but the question we're going to talk about right now is this do you use Google. Facebook do you tweet do you use You Tube Apple the app store are they biased are they biased as businesses are they biased as platforms one writer has written Google burns a heretic that's Mona Charen another writer has written today are free speech culture is slipping away that writer is David French He's a senior writer for The National Review a senior fellow at the National Review Review Institute he's an attorney concentrating in constitutional law David French Welcome to the program thanks so much for having me David tell us what happened at Google what did the Erik tick say . Why is this important. Yeah so I sent you what happened Google is as an employee wrote a leap even though about in pages. You know this is this is sort of a brief summary of it but because the Google is sort of an ideological monoculture it's coming from the left there's only left ideas about gender and gender balance is that Google and those left ideas keep explaining gender imbalances in terms of discrimination and other words that there are fewer women than men programmers because of discrimination and he said in reality there's your women and then been programmers because women are less interested in being programmers then men but there are differences between men and women and women tend to choose this profession last. He didn't say that any given individual woman was an inferior programmer to me in a given individual man he was talking about on average so what it is then said look let's figure out other way to bring more women into Google that don't involve discrimination in other words don't involve granting preferences to women and. Googling about proving his point that it was an ideological monoculture by firing. Or making a series of statements you know you know. I don't I don't think I I don't agree with 100 percent of it but it will be written memo and Google fired him. Conservatives should know this man is really no right wing conservatives names just dumb or and you might agree or disagree with some of his arguments some of his conclusions but the point is that should be a topic of discussion and debate you're saying and right but Google would have none of that right and you know let's let's be really clear this is not a 1st button issue but 1st amendment protects you from the government yes Google isn't the government Google is just any enormously powerful multinational company Right right and the point that I was raising now however is that free speech depends on a culture yes that respect open debate and free inquiry and increasingly we're getting to a point where universities when it made your corporation would employ you know collectively 1000000 to 1000000 people Google your Google is your apple your means your kids can go down the line meaning many many corporations are now adapting a very progressive political world you well let's start there cause I think it's important that we've got 2 issues one is this is a business question it's not particularly government question because the 1st minute you're right is about the government censoring free speech so to speak and this is a business but another question is it's this business it's the business of information the business of search engine so let's cover that 1st point 1st though because your article really talks about that you mentioned actually the actress Lena Dunham and what you're saying is only a university campus in the business world the Hollywood culture there is right now a. Burn the heretics mentality essentially. Intolerance in the name of tolerance to tell our our listeners about the Lena Dunham. Yeah so when that's done I'm sorry for those who don't know is the start of an h.b.o. Series called Girl very famous the order of their weekly then Planned Parenthood and she tweeted at American Airlines that she heard overheard 2 American Airlines flight attendant having a conversation about transgender issues they were just talking amongst themselves they weren't addressing the passengers and she overheard them think the things that she said or transphobia and other words that you know they didn't want to have a transgender child for example and so she tweeted that American Airlines and American Airlines resident think thank you for your concern lean and lean over we don't police the private conversations of our couple of our employees Yeah that we're going to launch an investigation I thought I think out shilling that is the mansion that you and I worked for American Airlines and we're talking about maybe that we've been to a Bible study and we're talking about the conference that Bible study and someone who overheard it didn't like what we were saying and accused us of religious intolerance we then be investigated by our company it's extremely chilling and so the point that I make is pretty simple look we don't have a culture that respects pretty speech if huge and powerful institution are essentially saying well one whole side of the political spectrum. Doesn't have the same ability to see as another side of the political spectrum that there are fewer economic opportunities available to you as you are an outspoken a conservative compared to one who's outspokenly liberal that your your choice is to speak up and leave or shut up and stay with the other side with the speak up and say yeah folks you're listening to Jerry Johnson I'm sitting in for Tony Perkins this is Washington Watch we're talking to David French He's written a piece. About the firing at Google of James the more and ironically James the more accused Google of silencing conservative opinions or arguments well and they demonstrated that by firing him. David saw I mean that's one phenomenon that you've nailed which is you know this is throughout the business world particularly Silicon Valley you remember Mozilla Firefox it's sort of a which got rid of their guy in a couple years ago found out he'd given to a conservative marriage political campaign so that's that's that's one side of this but the other side of it is and I want to be very clear to room you know to reinforce what you said this isn't strictly a 1st Amendment issue because not it's not the government restricting free speech but the new reality of new media digital media online platforms I mean we're using Facebook and Google and Twitter and Apple products like people used to use the telephone essentially And yet there's this expectation that this is a public square it's not this isn't just any business it's the business of communication I mean the whole idea I search engine is you type in a word and you get some kind of unbiased pure algorithm that would give you an unfiltered result and when that when the gate keepers are showing this kind of bias. We probably should be surprised that that we have seen instances of platform bias What do you think about that well you know I think. Bias combined with. In Google obviously has a point of view that the big spread is even through the very simple interface of a search engine now I'm not aware of compelling evidence yet of bias manifesting itself in the Be Google search results. You know nothing would surprise me. But people need to be very clear that the lines of modern communication online are in progressive hands. And the enormous amount of communication engaged in buying Current for example depend on the goodwill of the progressive corporation if you can in essence your communication and their permission and this is something very important for people to understand in their court very very important to gauge where you are in very important you know absent you know super entrepreneur or from a different point of view constructing alternative and having them catch fire a 1000000000 people. Constructing alternative platforms it's very important to try to hold the company through town and it's very important to try to 1st buy the company and make sure they don't become a complete and total ideological model monoculture Yeah the culture the culture of intolerance in the name of tolerance can bleed over from the business to the platform and callers we want you to join in the numbers 866-372-7234 do you use Google Facebook Twitter You Tube Apple the App Store in fact in the next segment we're going to give you specific examples of censorship in RB has a project called The John Milton project we've been documenting this platform censorship our guest right now is David French again the number is 866-372-7234 What do you think about this culture of intolerance in the name of tolerance a David do you remember. During the election there were several articles that and people you can Google this it's ironically Google Google manipulating search results and what you'll see is about 12 stories relating to. Favoring of Hillary Clinton in the last campaign is very interesting and from some very May. Stream sites like The Wall Street Journal and and so forth Financial Times and so forth British newspapers. And as you look further you'll see the Federal Trade Commission the f.t.c. Wanted to sue Google for mit manipulating results to favor its products over others and the Wall Street Journal. Wrote about this is well so it seems to me it's very hard for this this culture of censorship. To not bleed over into the platform David Oh I agree with you and I think that it can bleed over the platform when you have an ideological monoculture you know. You can have it lead into the platform even if they're not intending it to because there's no one else in the room rates are going to say oh yeah there's. Organ play if you're an echo chamber you don't realize that you're not you're not hearing the other voices at all right I mean there's that old saying if this doesn't even know it well yeah. Well David we've got to go I'm sorry we're out of time but I want to thank you for joining us I want to thank you for writing this piece and we hope to talk to you again thanks so much for joining us on Washington live free that you have me thank you i folks the number is 866-372-7234 has something on your Facebook page been scrubbed Well it's happened to Mike Huckabee it's happened to Todd Starnes It's happened a lot of conservative and Christian leaders and we're going to go through those examples in the next few minutes and again the numbers 866-372-7234 we got 4 callers waiting already and I'm going to give you specific examples of You Tube Facebook Go Fund Me Twitter Apple all engaging in the censorship of ideas this is Jerry Johnson filling in for Tony Perkins We'll be right back.

At. Google unveils a new slogan that's the headline in the Babylon b What is that slogan war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength the story says that slogan is inspired by the Google founders favorite book 19 Eighty-Four of course says is all an Orwellian spoof satire he went on to say in the quote we want our new slogan to remind everyone that the company is watching you and thought crimes will not be tolerated well people are making fun of Google but we might ought to be alarmed by the fact that. One of their employees wrote an exposé. Really the silencing of conservative opinions at Google and Google and he was summarily fired and dismissed really illustrating his point all along what do you think of this what do you think about Facebook and Twitter since ring conservative content burying conservative content we've got Richard on the line Richard thank you for calling What's your question what's your view. Yes Eric had a quick comment and then I'll hang up and listen to your response. You're talking about in essence out in company fight Google accountable for. Progress for promoting a progressive ideology or a progressive platform What are your thoughts on companies like Hobby Lobby or chick fil a promoting a conservative platform and I'll hang up and listen to your response thank you you know it's a great question and that's why I think is very important that David French and I firm this from the start said look this isn't about the government so it's not strictly a 1st Amendment issue the government is that. That party in the 1st Amendment that cannot. Censor speech obviously businesses can do it and I think the difference is Hobby Lobby is not in the information business. Chick fil a is not in the search engine business and to me that's one of the main differences a Chick fil A's make sandwiches Hobby Lobby makes a Kraft products and the founders were Christian the come out of a Judeo Christian culture and context and their company somewhat reflects that in many ways although as I understand it both companies you know. You know are pretty open in terms of employees having different political views. But this isn't new this is I think a different level of ideological advocacy I mean I don't see how the lobby in chick fil a. Advocating to the point of censorship and dismissal the way that you see Google advocating to the point of censorship and dismissal Furthermore again Google supposed to be in the business of information searching. Of you know finding facts and you know that should be neutral it should be objective there should be a kind of a scientific quality to the thing so to me that's that's the difference Chris on the line from Texas Chris you're on the air. Recently removed from a website called at home me and several other members were talking about you know the political things going on African you know if the person you know supported transgender don't want to bring all that up but the moderators being very civil discussion that we were having decided that it was not what they wanted to see on be at home that I and they deleted because they deleted the entire content of our discussion and they banned all of us Why don't talk about it we had you know we did get a chance to share a phone number so we could talk to each other on the phone but still they are saying that you know there they don't allow the f.b.i. At 1st Amendment rights we were going to carry. Discussion about this and end up getting banned so that's kind of like being unfriended by the or can. Think I mean they totally And so folks I'm sure many of you've been on Facebook and somebody has unfriended you are different Did you because of something you've said or done but it's it's another thing when the service provider are the platform shut you out shunned you and you're no longer a person in fact the Babbacombe of their article went on to write Google is watching you and has the ability to turn you into a person well it's kind of what happened to Chris Chris thank you for calling We've got Daniel on the line Daniel thank you for calling in you're on the air. Thank you for everything you guys do and hopefully one day I can be part of the team. So you feel. There are there's more stuff going on we believe and you don't know I was actually involved in a case. Where I am unfortunately look at some illegal content and when I was asked where I you know gave me the links to get to the to the content I said Well I think the people and when they did their investigation you know this came out and it was the truth and I was forced to rewrite some documents before one support so they would be at 30 I did not have to invest as well I am telling you now that if I had a list of hard or direct points and taped them to my door anybody said that you would have the feds or the state has your door saying you can't do this now Google has this direct link to illegal content in your database and protection so I've been an i.t. For 30 plus years so I'm very familiar with all of this and I will tell you that thanks Daniel we've got to we've got to move on what I want to do is call attention to the fact that Google. Has fired this employee again for. Really conservative kinds of commentary if you want to see examples of what Facebook You Tube Go Fund Me Twitter poll have done censoring Todd Starnes Mike Huckabee Center for Security Policy go to this website it's in RB dot org backslash j m p n r b dot org backslash j.m.p. This is an Arby's John Milton project we have documented documented where Facebook has censored Colonel Allen West. Mike Huckabee Chuck Colson. Arlene's flowers I mean they've just taken people off of these platforms there's a clear pattern we've documented it all in our b. Dot org backsplash backs j p. For Washington Watch I'll be right back. On am 67. History was made on today's date Stay tuned for an American minute with Bill Federer Black Thursday the stock market crash ended the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties millions were out of work this was just 7 months after America's 31st president's war into office his name was Herbert Hoover board this day August 10th 1984 the son of a Quaker blacksmith he studied at Stanford and became a world renowned engineer before entering politics in the Great Depression President Hoover stated American life is built upon that philosophy announced by the Savior 19th centuries ago it cannot survive with the defense of Cain and I my brother's keeper. This has been in the American minutes with Bill Federer transcript American moment at 18. If you're listening to this strident conservative he's always right hello America this is David Lee striding conservative recently I had the privilege of being involved in a radio interview on a Denver radio station with Frank j. Gaffney the founder president and c.e.o. Of the Center for Security Policy and a former assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan Mr Gaffney had been invited to discuss his effort to see a charming master terminated as Trump's national security advisor Gaffney contends that McMaster has openly opposed Mr Trump on radical Islamic terrorism Syria Qatar Iran Russia and the Muslim Brotherhood recently McMaster also personally granted Obama's national security adviser Susan Rice continued access to top secret information despite her efforts during the election to undermine the term campaign while I support the effort to fire McMaster for these reasons I also feel that he should be terminated due to his open anti israel bias a bias so obvious that it likely explains Trump's Obama ask handling of Israel so far in his administration after Drum's recent statement of support for McMaster However I'm not holding out much hope that the New York liberal will get rid of his Liberal National Security Advisor and that begs the question why the answer can be found in the word I just stated twice liberal trouble has a long history of liberal leaning politics and he surrounded himself with like minded individuals including his son in law Jared cushion or who's been actively involved in the terminations of Republicans from Trump's cabinet and he recently defended make Master as quote a true public servant and quote As a lifelong Democrat lacking any core convictions Trump is easily swayed by whatever way the wind may be blowing right now is blowing in favor of the liberal advisors that he has surrounding him in the White House and that means that McMaster is safe and least for now if you have a comment on this topic visit striding Conservative dot ca. Recently awash to watch life Tony Perkins shared his thoughts on the importance of teaching boys to be protected by still believe in the idea that men should protect women doesn't say women can't protect themselves I've got I know some very capable women but I think as a culture and as a whole we should be teaching our boys to do just that and I think that is why you see men like that going into our nation's military family you can look at this. In this is this is statistics that you see more members of the military are coming from conservative areas of the countries and they're disproportionately they have a faith backward and I believe it goes to what Jesus said over and John. Had no man the De Lay down his wife or his friends and that's a part of teaching that protective instinct. More when you visit Tony Perkins. Ok folks support slipping. Among Evan Jellicoe olds you know talk about that in a few minutes we'll be asking you to call in the numbers 866-372-7234 but right now . Another question are some American Catholics building alliance of hate with. A Vatican vetted document a journal claims just that and happily. One. Has responded. And asked the pope to meet with to discuss this matter he's an adviser to President Trump. And he's a board member with the n.o.a.a. The National Association of Evangelicals Johnny mores the man who wrote this letter He's the founder and c.e.o. Of the car us company he's a friend Johnny welcome to the program. Johnny Tell us about this document and really how you feel about it what you're thinking your reaction what you're asking the Vatican to do. Well you know it's interesting that the story sort of flew by Evan Jellicoe Well it was noticed by the Catholic community but but it sort of missed you know all of us but I couple of weeks ago and a journal that's published on a regular basis by the Vatican but the editor of The Journal and another for co-author both of which are close to the pope wrote wrote an article that said that that average helical Catholics in the United States are in and acumen ism of hate and that was the way they describe their relationship and in fact in fact here it went even further than that it raised alarm about increasing quote radicalized ancient within this context it make comparisons to ice it than it is Article allow ice of all people and one thing the one thing that I know this that you know there was was particularly terrible to me is that great and humanism of hate was was a phrase repurpose you know Pope Francis in the middle of the ISIS crisis in Iraq and Syria with so many Christians are dying dying in Africa and other places Pope Francis said in a statement of unity he said there's an end cumin ism of blood around the world now well that we're not reason for getting together unified and so to take that for a to repurpose that to use it to divide the church and was a really terrific thing and you know I I decided that I would just write the pope himself and say let's sit down let's talk about this and rather than being offended let's make Have you had anything you know I think are you getting any you know if you don't know but I'm hope and I got my fingers crossed that it might take him a few days to get over there so you know. I thought it was interesting you also wrote a piece for Fox News which folks could go to the Fox News dot com opinion side and see it because. Often if you're conservative are labeled on the right or if in Jellicoe one of the accusations is we want a theocracy we want a theocratic state and the writers of this piece you know said you know the Catholics here in America are joining the 2nd Jellicoe and they want to I hate theocratic state What's your response to that. You know it's incredibly ironic they were writing from a theocratic state that's not the best kind of can yes it's right it's a church state it is a church state a legitimate church state and by the way that's not what we want America we just want to religious liberty you know we we just want the rights of the unborn you know we we by the way with Catholics have worked together in a historic way for 30 years and we've achieved unbelievable thing as issues without the most pro-life generation that's row we've been fighting to get on with just Liberty every single day we Now I earned the but best type of situation when it comes to religious liberty and then you go back you know even if you go back a few decades and it was Catholic and have a Jellicoe action united with other people you know in this country that helped bring down the earlier walls expedited the fall of communism like I think actually in the Vatican you know they ought to appreciate the amazing relationship that Catholics have a jealous of that in this country and that by the way is one of the reasons why I asked for a meeting because I can I just cannot believe that these people actually believe that I mean it there just has to be a lack of understanding it doesn't make any sense at all unless they're totally totally delusional and it certainly doesn't look like you know things the pope is that in the past and so you know I offered to go over there with a half dozen of our most significant the nomination the leaders that most influential have been jealous of in this country sit down let's have a conversation and then where we do disagree because we will disagree sometimes we can disagree as friends you know so we'll see if we'll see. We have the opportunity . Thank you so much Johnny Moore c.e.o. The company Johnny thank you for your work and for joining us today on Washington Watch thanks for All right folks. That's amazing. So some Catholic writer saying watch out American Catholics Joe don't join Don't join the alliance of hate with Trump. Going to talk about Trump and.

Recognized. Religious actions taken. In the Veterans Administration.

Welfare I just want to thank you for taking my call and I think trip President Trump is doing a great job I think a lot of propaganda is being generated Yes insinuate please since the election I think his approval rating is much higher than anybody he's probably going to broadcast out there I think he's doing a great job I like the fact that he's not a career politician and I do believe that these the politicians need to be gotten out I'm offered her a little bar right Bonnie thank you for calling We're going to move on I want these to be pretty quick but already the one is scores 10 right now in favor of President Trump Bonnie says you know he needs to drain the swamp. It looks like he got surrogate on from Missouri thank you for calling what's your view Oh yes sir yes here's an evangelical Christian and voted for Prop and I will what are right there's a lot of people get confused about Christians here you know from her home never prefers to be a Christian correct. Well I think I think loosely he may have professed it but it is certainly not been his emphasis he's not going around talking about I am a Christian or I've professed to be born again I think he associates with a lot of Christian leaders and he braces a lot of Christian values maybe not uniformly but in any case I don't think he's been wearing his faith on his sleeve if that's your question Sergei. Ivanov agree with you and my point is not what I spoke with a lot of persons were elected. We can't vote for him because he's not going to help . But he never. Actually doing a lot better than. The last minute that ever. Well let's just stop there Sergei because we don't have a lot of time but I want to firm what you're saying it's one thing when Jimmy Carter says I'm a born again President and he gives a pretty good testimony of Jesus and salvation but then he's for abortion and and his cabinet is awful and what you see with Mr Trump is actually he's appointed a pro-life Supreme Court justice nominated approved on the bench now Gorsuch and you look at somebody like Secretary price and Health and Human Services pro-life haring pro-life workers underneath him so terms of his policy his policies are reflective of the judeo christian view particular on the sanctity of human life we've got exams you're on the line from Kansas What's your view. Well I'm not. A c.s. So. Thanks for calling Thanks for calling Yeah well listen to the problem occasional from time to time but I did not vote for Tom. And a question about whether support for tonsils will thing all decline and I don't think a lot of people whether they voted for him and. All the time. Maybe it was one way they made a mistake so I think people are going to be struggling in school for the. Support. Well thank you for calling is a viewer and I appreciate your listening to Washington watch even though you might not agree and even more so I suggest you know reading the Gospel of John that's a tremendous book when you're thinking searching asking questions it's a book which is written specifically so that people might know that Jesus is the Son of God in the same year and that believing you might have life in his name but I am glad you called We've got Richard on the line Richard what's your view. Grew up in the church however. There I quit going there and I started to go back. Anyway I. Started out as they. Ordered and after a while I started already drunk. And are you happy. Yes I mean it's really happy with our All right so the score is 3 to 0 for those who voted for President truck right now that they voted for him and they're happy and we had one fellow who had did not vote for him but thinks his support has not waned so this article by Mark sill so far is not holding up too well just anecdotally on on Washington parts where he says Evan Jellicoe support is slipping and with us now on the line we have an in our b. Member Dr Robert Jeffress who is the pastor 1st Baptist Church of Dallas Texas and actually he was one of the 1st pastors in America to support President Trump and especially to get traction and you know he participated and many of the inaugural events and it was just recently in the White House with President for that prayer session that you saw and Dr Jeffress Welcome to the program Juan thanks for having me Gerri Listen you've been on the inside and the outside here in there and we were just responding to an article that said trump support among Evan genitals might be slipping we responding to this document that came out of the Vatican essentially what where they were warning American Catholics not to build an alliance of hate with Trump Evan Jellicoe and I've been asking callers who supported the president you know do your regret it or do you feel like he's doing a good job so I want to put it to you how you feeling how do you score the president right now why would you give in that score what I would give him by and out of and maybe I don't live it out as very strong. And that what and here's the reason why you ate exactly doing what he promised to do I mean 1st of all just think about early in his term appointing just the course it's the PRNG course good God our Supreme Court nominee nominee can farm quicker than any president in life 120 years probably. That is he also fulfilled the pledge on other judicial nominations look he is absolutely appointing all of these judges or at least nominating them to the federal judgeship you know who's blocking that's not the democratic it is the Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley that is holding up these nominees because of these arcane Senate rules and I think people are sick and tired of the Senate trying to stonewall what President Trump is trying to do the regulation protecting our borders you know immigration as you well know is down illegal immigration is down significantly Yeah and I love the way he's handling this North Korea crisis I'm telling you I'm like his predecessor when Donald Trump draws a red line he's not going to our race and move it our back away from it so yeah Jerry I couldn't be more thrilled with the president before me ask you a follow up question on that because when somebody just brought up previous presidents and you know Trump not sort of wearing his faith on his sleeve where is Jimmy Carter claim to be born again seem to have an average of a contest to Moni but his appointments you know and his policies did reflected I guess my question for you is this you know it's one thing to say oh I am a Jesus 7 Jellicoe a born again Christian but it's a contrast that with you know doing sort of the biblical job of a national leader a government leader Romans 13 leader what is really what is the profile for a national leader according to Scripture Well I think we need to vote for somebody who is going to lead according to biblical principles and you know you mentioned this. This cap like Doc you might you know these people who surround the pope and the Pope and self have been relentless in their criticism of Donald Trump and yet Catholics voted for Trump by 54 percent and you know Jerry you know this well in this election there was only one phone why. And bro religious liberty gambit and his name wasn't there were 20 and I mean I cannot understand the antipathy some of the cap like hierarchy members have when you know we're a member of the leaked e-mails from the Clinton campaign it showed that the Clinton campaign was disparaging Catholics they were absolutely been trying to change Catholic doctrine and I think that the Catholic hierarchy needs to get in line with what the Catholic people waar and that is they are conservative and they supported by majority Donald Trump look I have another question for you there's that old slogan personnel is policy and you've mentioned Gorsuch the Supreme Court justice which was so important but I'm thinking of the secretary of Health and Human Services Price who is pro-life and who's made you know excellent under appointments like Charmaine Yost and so forth you've got Scott Pruitt e.p.a. Who said have a gentle Christian you've got Rick Perry Jeff Sessions Pompei at the CIA Here's my question for you. We all love and respect President Reagan Bush one and Bush to think about them you know favorably often as conservatives or Christians but do you think I'm accurate in this statement that this is the most conservative Cabinet. You know in 3035 years including Reagan Bush one and 2 what do you think of that I think there is no doubt about it I just finished this book and I'd recommend it to everybody the gatekeepers about the former chiefs of staff of the White House and about about the cabinets of these former presidents I don't think there has ever been a cabinet that has had so many conservative Christians in it as this one and they meet weekly to study the Bible and to pray together I mean it's amazing that a secular candidate like Donald Trump has really put together one of the most Christian cabinets in history and I'm telling you when you walk through the West Wing and you talk to these personnel they say there is a Christian atmosphere here and I think we ought to all be comforted and encouraged by that and thank President Trump for that that this didn't happen by accident President Trump loves evangelical Christians you know that's clear because I know in the past with his Reagans of the bushes you would see once or twice a year a group of Evan Jellicoe was you know around the West Wing here or there but I would say this is well probably you've already had more Evan general presence pastoral presence in the White House in 6 months than the entire presidency of these other 3 Republican presidents I mean this is a regular occurrence not just once or twice a year constant flow in and out of angelic leaders I think that's a good thing it is and Jerry you know he said it our event last month at the Kennedy Center he stood before our group there and said as long as I am president you will never have to choose between practicing your faith and obeying the wall can you have you ever heard the sheriff or hear George w. Bush say that or Ronald Reagan say that I never heard it said I mean that this president has done more to advocate for religious liberty than any president in history. Dr Robert Jeffress pastor of 1st Baptist Church Dallas Texas a member of in our b. National Religious Broadcasters Thank you Dr Jeffers for joining us great to be with you thanks for having me all right folks so we're talking about the presidency and I think this is so important. The president is not a pastor the president is a minister but a minister of the sword according to Romans 13 not a minister of the Gospel He's a minister of justice and I think that's so important because sometimes. Christians or even non Christians say well look at this character look at this statement look at this from the past look at this attitude that's not a Christian attitude Well I wish everything was a Christian attitude and everything was a Christian statement and all the past actions were Christian you know ethically and morally but that's not the job of a president of United States is a it's a it's a job of justice a job of keeping us safe and the Romans 13 is clear that government leaders policeman mayors not just presidents judges their ministers of God for justice to protect us from evil doers you know this is God's accommodation really for sin that is. Because of the fall and because of sand we need protection we need protection from the evil doers from the evil results and that is God's protection government the Gospel that's the good news that Christ died for our sins and rose again that's the the salvation from sand the forgiveness of sand and if you've never turned to Jesus know that he died for your sins and rose again look to Him believe in him this is Gerry Johnson for Washington Watch thank you.
